Abstract: Abstract Pet care is an important aspect of modern household management, where maintaining regular feeding schedules and monitoring pets can become difficult when owners are away from home. Existing pet care systems generally provide either fixed-time feeding or basic monitoring, but they often lack interactive communication and remote control capabilities. The proposed project presents an IoT-based Interactive Pet Assistant Bot that enables remote pet monitoring, manual robot movement control, live video streaming, voice communication, and food dispensing through an internet-connected interface. The system uses a Flask-based web application hosted on the Raspberry Pi for remote operation and monitoring. IoT communication is established securely through a Tailscale VPN network, enabling low-latency remote access and control without exposing the device directly to the public internet. The system is built around a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B mounted on a fully customized 3D-printed robotic chassis. The robot is controlled manually through a web or IoT dashboard, allowing the user to navigate the robot inside the home environment using live camera feedback. The system integrates a Raspberry Pi Camera Module for real-time video streaming, DC motors for locomotion, a motor driver module for movement control, a speaker for audio playback, and a stepper motor-actuated food dispensing mechanism. The robot can receive recorded voice messages from the user through the IoT interface and play them using the onboard speaker, enabling interaction with pets remotely. The customized food dispensing mechanism allows controlled release of pet food through a 3D-printed hopper structure. The project focuses on remote interaction and monitoring rather than autonomous navigation. Unlike autonomous robotic systems, the movement and operation of the robot are fully controlled manually by the user through the IoT interface. The implementation demonstrates the integration of embedded systems, IoT communication, live streaming, robotics, audio communication, and 3D-printed mechanical design into a single interactive pet care platform.
